[Effect of adhesion on the status of corneal tissue during in vitro culturing]

Newt and rat cornea with and without the corneal limbus was cultured under conditions of adhesion to a substrate (stationary culturing) and in the absence of adhesion (roller culturing). It was found that the contact of the tissue with the substrate play the key role in the transduction of the regulatory signal that ensures the maintenance of cornea viability and affects proliferation and migration of cornea cells.
